Don't love posting about gear deals, but Adorama has insane sales on 77mm B+W filters, this weekend only for some reason. 40 to 70% off! Maybe other sizes too.

Last year I bought a vintage digital camera on eBay, the Kodak C300. It's like brand new and got it for a few dollars only.
It's a 15 years old digital camera with a 3 mpx CCD sensor with a 37mm equivalent lens at f/4.5
It works with normal AA batteries, so no problem to get batteries for it, because it's often the problem with old digital cameras, battery pack are sometimes hard to find.
I'Ve read an article a long time ago about a photographer who was using only old digital cameras because she liked the look of the small cheap sensor back then, it somehow gives some kind of analog look to the pictures because of all the imperfections, the soft lens and the noise from the sensor.
CCD sensors is the key here for the look, so you have to look for cameras from the early 2000's
This is the article if you're interested: https://www.dpreview.com/intervi…
Here's a few pictures I took this morning, I edited them in Adobe Camera RAW editor to make them feel more analog. No presets, i never use presets.
- Fuck yeah********
- I’m thinking about a CCD Leica. But these oldies make beautiful images.********
- this is my camera: https://i.imgur.com/…Bennn
- You can go cheaper than a Leica, cheaper means more imperfections = more nostalgia feel :) If this is what you wantBennn
- I bought that Kodak for 10$Bennn
- I like the hand portrait look. Lynch was smitten with this look. Shot 'Inland Empire' like it...********
- Check out Fuji SuperCCD too********
- I love that fact that we are all downgrading. I bought an adapter to put my hasseblad lenses on my blackmagic pocket 6K.tank02
- wow this is amazing_niko
- I think one of my first ever digital camera had a SuperCCD, it was a FujiBennn
- also, what former Soviet republic is this? ;)_niko
- @eddie Cool i didnt know about this movieBennn
- @niko lol its in MTLBennn
- The outdoor shots are gorgeous. The hand is interesting but I'm not really into the cross-processed look********
- Thumbs up, Bennn!SimonFFM

I had a couple of these. Quality was incredible for the time, size and price.******** - But yeah once the batteries went, that was it. May still have these at my mom's, I might dig around next time I'm there********

- Nice. I have far too many cameras, and am currently building a lofi spec digi camera. I think somebody posted something about the new raspberry pi camera..garbage
- ..module here, which I was independently researching. I wonder how much our youtube searches sway one another.garbage
- @tank How's the black magic?garbage
- seems like the raspberry pi module is going to be big for HD surveillance gear********
- I'm going to dig out my Sony Erickson mobile photos!Chimp
- So nice, some of my favourite pics ever were shot on an old fuji finepix I had from 2002ish.ben_
- I also have this old PowerShot G3 but cant find battery pack :( https://i.imgur.com/…Bennn
- If you'Re interested someone is selling one, like mine, brand new unopened https://www.cafr.eba…Bennn
- The small sensor gives a pictorial look********
- Nice, ben.
What are those spherical pod things?Nairn - The city made a park on an ancient huge trash landfill, it's something to capture the gas escaping from the ground... something like thatBennn
- they have glow in the dark paint on them, the park is very cool, still under construction. It's the biggest park in MTLBennn
- This is actually a "Make QBN Great Again"-Post. Thank you.Longcopylover
- i miss my m8...ok_not_ok
- just posted many pics in the threadBennn
- should the words 'vintage' and 'digital' be used together yet? ...especially regarding a camera? Still feels too new a format... or did I just become 'old'? o_oPonyBoy
- yes, vintage digital cameras is a thing. The first digital cameras from 1999~2005 are the first gen with ancient technology.Bennn
- Can be considered 'vintage' in the tech world wich move very fast, i thinkBennn
- Weirdly I still have my old Canon G1, a "prosumer" digital from 2000. It can get some pretty wacky grain if you abuse the light.evilpeacock
- Damn, I was gifted a super early digital camera in 1999, wasn’t even a megapixel resolutionfuturefood
- @ok Why the hell would you get rid of an M8?garbage
- Yes, totally a MQGA post!SimonFFM
- Nice Bennn, love the top and bottom shot. Anyone remember the Apple Quicktake from 1994? I think I still have it somewhere.fadein11

- Back when i was using Lomo LCA/Holga and other lo-fi film cameras I said that digital cameras should integrate such random film effects that could be selected..microkorg
- .. or could be randomised as you took the pic. I shouldve approached a camera company with the idea. Cos years later... lomo apps...microkorg
- ..film effect apps, instagram filters etc. Effects on cameras (before cameras were 'good' on smart phones) would've been massive i bet.microkorg
- Bennn, does it have to be old CCD cameras? There are some recent ones:drgs
- https://www.dpreview…drgs
- the old models make more 'crappy' pictures wich create interesting effect, recent camera are ''too good''Bennn
- Fuck yeah

Here's more tests for the curious. Some in very low light.
- click on them to see the grain detailBennn
- Grainy, but the dynamic range is excellent. The ability to pick up tones in that phone booth and the brick wall is remarkably good********
- out of camera it look like shit and super darkBennn
- Cool********
- Did you say you're shooting RAW? Or just editing JPGs in ACR********
- that camera doesnt have RAW option.. only JPGs. I edit them in ACR yesBennn
- If we're going to go nuts on vintage photography I might have to bump this thread later.garbage
- @garbage Show us your work man :DBennn
- Love the cat portraitSimonFFM
- Love the light and resolution of the first one, could be a nice illustration.********
- ok_not_ok0
- I love the GR series, but I prefer the black *shrugs*greyandred
- Cool design feature to get people to look at the lens, if that's what you want. I don't********
- Shitty design, I convinced ppl that a Fuji X100s was a film camera and couldn't show them the pics after I took themgrafician
- ^so I got tons of great street photography shots, ppl looking natural, not posing for the picturegrafician
- Any flashy looking camera will get you only lots of lost photo opportunitiesgrafician
- Wait, is that not removable? Kind of lame. I use a GR film camera, and I suppose I have more of an issue of the whole "street photography" culture.garbage
- It's me being a crotchety old fuck, but whenever I meet somebody that describes themselves as a "street photographer", I think "you must be new here".garbage
- The orange ring is removable, it comes with a black version too. :-)PhanLo

I've never used profiles / presets / LUTs when editing my photos, but I have to quickly edit a series I shot for a magazine (portrait commission).
I shot that series to help them out, they had a specific idea and look in mind and though it's not really in my style, it was fine by me.
Now that it's shot I just don't want to spend too much time editing it and feel that for once, profiles will be useful, especially considering they want a film-like look.
I use Capture One, and after some research my best options seem to be :
RNI All Films 4 (though I'd prefer 5 but it's not supported by C1)
https://reallyniceimages.com/ind…or Lutify.me (I could also end up using it for video).
https://lutify.me/products/3d-lu…Looking for any of you fine people's feedback on these or recommandations for better alternatives.
Thanks!
- Obviously I could have just shot film but very last minute + lockdown + weekend = I simply used the gear I had with me.spl33nidoru
- Went with RNI, very convenient and happy so far. Loading a style on a separate adjustment layer leaves a lot of room for customisation.spl33nidoru
